Big Mistake

This was a pretty fun little dive into a bit of tawdry red shoe diaries or 90s late night USA channel style programming. If that's your kind of thing, SUPER recommend. A little sexy. A little violent. A bit over the top at times, but stays interesting throughout. I'll spare you the plot details, but there's enough here for the right audience. Thumbs up emoji.

I am a huge fan of the film noir genre so this was right up my alley and it definitely did not disappoint! Tightly woven script, great acting, solid cinematography and direction and most importantly, lots of twists and turns that I did not see coming. I loved it. Looking forward to seeing it again with my girlfriend.

Big Mistake is a suspenseful film noir indie gem. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen I was mistaken. I loved the honesty of bounty hunter, Nick, as he falls for Madison. There are some unexpected twists that make this stylish thriller among the better of its type. It kept me on the edge of my seat, emotions churning, and is overall a really great watch! Highly Recommend!!

This film really kept me on my toes - never knew what was coming next! Twists and turns. Honest characters. Lots of tension. Highly recommend!

Full disclosure: Director Michael Perez and I attended Navy broadcasting school together before remeeting for a year of service aboard an aircraft carrier, him creating and handing me the ship's first newscast after its mid-life drydock. I've not kept up with his work, so was excited to see all he'd become in Big Mistake. I knew the guy could edit, and he impressed me with his latest techniques. But the movie as a whole is what blew me away. His actors were convincing, his shots were well-framed, dialogue timed well when switching between shots, and effects were fun. (Their handling of lamp-to-head should be the template.) Kudos also to Writer Devin O'Leary, especially for the twist and ending, and to working with Director Michael to pull them off as well as they did. I look forward to further collaborations between Devin and whatever team Michael assembles.
